CHAPTER XXXVII

In the vast territory of Bashu, it is a mysterious and remote region, which was originally divided into two, namely Ba and Shu. Because the territory borders the state of Qin, it was subdued by King Qin Huiwen, the great-grandfather of King Qin Yingzheng decades ago, in ten months.

After that, Ba and Shu merged into the Bashu region, which was no longer a state, but a state attached to Qin. As the name suggests, Bashu is a vassal to Qin.

The Bashu landform is steep and steep, and the dense forests are full. Liu Chang drove the carriage through a small town and stayed for a few days. Because of geographical reasons, it often rains in the Bashu area, and it has rained violently in recent days, making it inconvenient to continue to hurry. So Poxi and Liu Chang stopped and waited for the weather to improve before hurrying.

This town is called "Beijun Town", and the people in the town say that the reason why it is called this name is because further down is the political center of the Shu royal family and the Feng family, which is the Wang family of the Wang family~ "Phoenix Town".

It's just that if you want to get there, you need to walk for more than ten days, otherwise you have to go through a primeval forest, and if it goes well, it only takes two days to get there. But there is miasma everywhere, not to mention, there are countless poisonous insects and beasts. Nine times out of ten, someone passing by will have an accident. Most people would rather walk more than choose that forest.

For thousands of years, it is unknown how many people died in that forest. Therefore, this is how the name of "Bejun Town" came about.

These are not big problems for Liu Chang and Poxi, as long as the rain stops, they can choose to enter Phoenix Town through the forest, and there is no need for them to waste time on the official road.

"Little fairy, we are about to arrive at "Phoenix Town", how to check the clues next, we are not familiar with life, and we have no one to take care of. ”

"Here, there will naturally be clues, the master said, the Bashu Feng family is famous far and wide, if you really want to check, there will always be many clues. The difficulty is that there are still many families that look not famous, but they all have unique skills, which are inextricably linked, intertwined, and indispensable to hook and match. Therefore, we can't be in a hurry, make trouble openly, and investigate secretly. ”

"Why do you make trouble openly and investigate secretly?" Liu Chang began to feel that Poxi was becoming more and more like a king, and his mind was getting deeper and deeper. obviously looks so simple, but when you look at things, you can listen to all directions and see the overall situation, no wonder the two are such a perfect match.

"I don't know, let's take it one step at a time. But the Feng family must be the first to come into contact. ”

Liu Chang nodded and agreed: "The Feng family is the source, but in what capacity do we want to contact it, we can't directly say that you are a Liyang Fengnu, right?" ”

"Naturally, I can't reveal my identity, and I don't know if they are friends or foes."

As we talked, the rain outside the window gradually stopped, and the sky began to clear. Someone downstairs said: "It's been raining heavily for three days in a row, and it's been enough to see how God looks, and it should definitely be good weather in the next few days." ”

Po Xi walked to the window and looked up at the transparent sky revealing a ray of sunlight, and said with a smile: "Uncle, it seems that we can leave for Phoenix Town tomorrow." ”

"Well, if this rain doesn't stop, it's going to flood."

Then there was another night of nothing, and after dawn, the sun really shone high, and the originally wet ground was also dried a lot. It's a lot more comfortable to walk on.

Liu Chang helped Poxi into the carriage, and the tiger cubs who had been put in the car first obediently waited for Poxi to come up and all jumped on her. Perxi didn't stop either, they all stroked them one by one.

The carriage moved, and the three tiger cubs all lay on Po Xi's body and fell asleep with their eyes closed. Po Xi picked up the bamboo slips on the side and looked at them to pass the time.

After walking for a long time, Perxi suddenly felt that the carriage had stopped, and it seemed that he could hear the sound of many people talking. She was not in a hurry, waiting for Liu Chang to explain the situation to him.

Not long after, Liu Chang lifted the curtain and said to her: "The road ahead has been blocked by a rolling mudslide, and the carriage may not be able to pass." ”

"Is there anyone else who has been blocked from their way?"

"Yes, it seems to be a caravan, and there are quite a few people, as many as forty or fifty people."

Poxi raised her head from the book, a little surprised, this kind of place in the deep mountains and wild forests is rare to meet people, and there are so many at once, she is curious. So he gently picked up the sleeping tiger boy from his body and put it aside, and then let Liu Chang help her get out of the carriage.

Looking ahead, sure enough, there were a dozen horses loaded with goods set aside in front of them, and a carriage that looked luxurious, and among the dozens of people were three women, one of them dressed in fine and gorgeous clothes, and the other two were probably maids, because they all wore the same clothes and hair. The others were all men, and they were all armed, and it seemed that this group of people was not as simple as an ordinary caravan.

Percy stood still, quietly watching the people in front of her trying to move away from the boulders and dirt. But in Perxi's opinion, it was a bit futile, because the area covering the road was a bit large, and the big rocks were basically too big to be shaken.

The woman who had been directing people to do things suddenly turned around and looked at Perxi, who couldn't see her face because of the veil, but their eyes met.

After looking at each other from a distance, the woman took the initiative to walk towards Perxi, and Perxi also quietly looked at the woman who came over. When I got closer, I saw that the woman was about twenty years old and less than thirty years old, her skin was white and beautiful, and her facial features were so bright that she gave people a relaxed and happy feeling.

The man stopped in front of Perxi, looked Perxi up and down, and said with a smile: "Hello, you are also going to Phoenix Town through the forest in front?" ”

"Yes, but it looks like the road is out of the way?"

Although Perxi's face can't be seen, it can be seen that Perxi's flawless eyes also reveal a smile. Let the woman look refreshed. She said happily and heartily: "No, it has rained heavily for three days in a row, and the ghost place of Bashu is full of dangerous mountains and dense forests, and it rains at every turn, and when it rains, it has to be flooded to be enough." ”

"Yes, we just found out about this problem when we first entered Bashu."

"Just entered Bashu? Where are you from? ”

"Qin State." The clouds in the Per Creek are lightly breezy and carry by.

"Qin State? Wow, I've always wanted to go and see, now should be the early days of Qin Shi Huang's victory, I wonder if he is as brutal as the legend says? ”

"Do you think that the sky is high and the earth is far away, and you think that no one will punish you by calling King Qin by name, plus slandering?"

Liu Chang originally thought that this woman looked very easy to get along with, but when he heard her speak openly and slander Win Zheng, he instantly raised a flame and couldn't help but question. And what the hell is Qin Shi Huang?

"Hey, this big brother is so angry, hehe, I don't mean anything else, I don't know King Qin, I just heard the legend say so."

"You hear the legend that a bird's egg is born, right? If there is a legend, it is also the legend that the King of Qin is wise and martial, and dominates the princes, where is there such a thing as cruelty. There is no one in the entire Qin Kingdom who does not respect our King of Qin, which ghost place are you from where birds don't, and the news is so closed? You don't have an epiphany at first glance, and you don't have a ...... training."

"Shut up, which green onion are you, I provoked you, and at a glance, you will know that King Qin is your idol. I just said casually, "I cut off the flesh of your idol and commanded me, as if I were cutting off the flesh of your idol, as for me?" King Qin is not you Maji, why do you look like you want to fight with me, it really makes people want to shoot you to death, cut ......"

"......" Liu Chang was not only interrupted by the woman what he wanted to say, but also speechless. Listening to her words, what words are "horse ridges" and "lotus roots", is it the dialect of Bashu?

"Sister Mo Qi, uncle and I are both Qin people, under the governance of King Qin, our people live very peacefully. I heard my sister say that King Qin was cruel and didn't agree with it, so my uncle was a little excited. Perxi didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he gently spoke out to persuade peace.

"Hehe, I'm not angry, but I think this big brother overreacted, so I poured cold water on him to calm down. But let me state that it is true that I am curious about King Qin's invincibleness, but I definitely have no intention of slandering him or disgusting him. I just think that the majesty of the emperor through the ages should be seen in vain...... It's not worth this life. ”

At this time, even Poxi felt that what this woman said was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was going on. Liu Chang heard the woman say that Ying Zheng was the title of the first emperor of the ages, but he was instantly much happier again, although he still didn't know what she was talking about.

"Well, my sister is a quick talker." Perxi didn't plan to care, she felt that this woman was different, but she gave people the feeling that she wanted to be close.

"My name is Duguqing, a native of Badi, and my family is in business. Originally, I went from Badi to Shudi to check business, but because of the rain, the journey was delayed for a few days, and now the road ahead is blocked again, so I don't know how long it will be delayed to get to Phoenix Town. ”

"Sister Qing also wants to pass through the forest?"

"yes, you too?"

"Yes, wouldn't it be better for Sister Keqing to take the official road with the goods?"

"Recently, bandits suddenly appeared on the official road, which was already time-consuming. You may also be robbed, and there is danger everywhere, so simply choose a close one. ”

Duguqing looked at Poxi and explained that Liu Chang would skip the matter of scolding him at will because Duguqing would casually skip the matter of scolding him, so he would not be entangled and return to normal.

"Like Sister Qing, we were also delayed by the heavy rain for a few days, and if we wanted to save time, we planned to go to Phoenix Town through the forest, and we didn't want the weather to improve, so we only walked for half a day, and the road was impassable."

"Who says it's not. Ah, by the way, what's your name? Duguqing looked at the veiled girl, although she couldn't see her face, but just the charming big eyes and natural voice also made her feel very comfortable, she wanted to get to know her, and her eyes always felt familiar. It's very similar to the people she knows, but thinking that it can't be the same person, I'm not in a hurry to see her.

"Ah, it's rude, my name is Per Creek, Amber Per, Brook of Stream." Only then did Po Xi realize that he hadn't responded to Duguqing's self-introduction, and he was a little ashamed.

"Wow, just looking at this temperament, I feel that the fairy is fluttering, and even the name is so out of the mortal dust, haha, I earned it and met the great beauty from the Qin Kingdom."

"It turns out that you are still very civilized, our little fairy is quite beautiful, at least much stronger than you."

Liu Chang interjected and said to Duguqing again, thinking that he would anger her again, but he didn't expect Duguqing to smile cheerfully: "Haha, I don't compare with this, I will be more beautiful than me, and I won't be jealous, but one day I will have the opportunity to show me the true face of your little fairy, and let me be intoxicated, hahaha." ”

These casual words made Liu Chang recognize from the bottom of his heart that Duguqing is also a temperamental person, and he gives people the feeling of sincerity and no bad intentions.

Poxi didn't care about her praise, and looked at the group of people in front of her who were still trying to clear the blocked road, and she asked Duguqing: "Sister Qing, I'm afraid this road can't be opened like this, we may have to find another way." ”

Dugu Qing also looked back: "Well, if you do it like this, I'm afraid it's futile for dozens of people." After speaking, he pursed his mouth and thought about it, and he didn't seem to have any of the reserved nature of a woman, but it wasn't annoying.

Per Creek slowly walked to the front and looked around carefully, these mudslides were washed away by the rain from the mountain on the right, and the mountain loosened and collapsed to block the road. And there is a possibility of continuing to collapse, and now it is the mud and rock pile under the bottom that has made the top force, and the loose mountain on the mountain above cannot collapse temporarily.

"Sister Qing, you can't clean up the mud and rocks below, otherwise there will be mud and rocks collapsing on it, which will be more dangerous."

Dugu Qing also looked up carefully, frowning, it was indeed not suitable for the mud and stone pile underneath. So she immediately spoke out to stop the subordinates who were still fighting to move the stones.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Liu Chang jumped on the top of the mud and stone pile and found that after this pile of mud and rock, the front was still open.

After Liu Chang checked it, he flew back to Poxi and Duguqing from the four or five meters high stone pile and said: "Now there is only one way, that is, everything must be put down, people crawl over and walk through the dense forest, horses, carriages, and goods can't pass." ”

"If that's all I can do, I'm fine, but, Perxi, can you walk without a carriage?"

Duguqing felt that Poxi looked so weak that it was difficult to walk, and it was so spotless, it was too inappropriate to walk on such a muddy road.

"Sister Qing is worried, I don't have a problem."

Duguqing then ordered 10 people to be left to transport the horses and goods back to her home first, and she took the others to Phoenix Town to finish her errands first.

Po Xi and Liu Chang also packed up all the necessary things on the carriage and took the three tiger cubs to prepare to climb over the mud and rocks.

Duguqing thought that Poxi was going to climb up by himself, but who knew that Liu Chang handed over a few burdens to Duguqing and said, "Help us take it, I'll come back and get it later." After speaking, he handed over all the baggage to Duguqing, picked up Poxi and took a leap to the top of the high stone pile, and then another flying man disappeared, and then the three little fat cats who seemed to everyone to be ordinary domestic cats also jumped up and jumped on the other side.

Before Duguqing, who opened his mouth wide, could react, Liu Chang jumped up and down and landed in front of her again, grabbed the burden he had just given her and was about to continue jumping, but suddenly stopped and turned around and asked, "Do you want to help?" ”

"Hold me?"

"If you need it."

"Nonsense, what can be solved in two seconds, why should I climb by myself?"

"Two seconds?" Liu Chang couldn't understand what she was talking about anymore.

"It's not important, you can take me to climb over it."

So Liu Chang ran back and forth a few times, thinking that Duguqing's two maids also wanted him to help solve it, but who knew that the two maids had martial arts, so he jumped up. The others are all men, and they have some skills, so it's not difficult to get over. The last group of people walked for most of the day with a bag on their backs, and it was close to dark that they reached the entrance to the dense forest, which everyone feared.

It was the first time for Duguqing to walk this road, and it was the first time to cross the dense forest. Although she is not afraid of heaven and earth by nature, but looking at the terrifying aura of the dense forest in front of her, she knows that the primeval forest she knows is not a primeval forest, this kind of ancient atmosphere, dark, and full of mysterious vitality is the real primeval forest. An unprecedented thrill of adventure tugged at her whole body, and her heart couldn't wait to experience the so-called "adventure......
